Jerusalem Baroque Orchestra. David Shemer – conductor. Shaked Bar – mezzo-soprano. The fascinating figure of Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, has become the focus of many baroque operas. In this concert we meet Cleopatra and her equally famous imperial lover, Giulio Cesare, in excerpts from operas by A. Sartorio, J. A. Hasse, C. H. Graun and, of course, G. F. Handel. The rich and highly versatile voice of soloist Shaked Bar will portray the two protagonists and set them face to face. The Jerusalem Baroque Orchestra's "Witches?" Festival returns for its fifth year, this year under the title "Echo" — a journey following women, works and voices that, even in their own time, earned recognition, honor and their rightful place, and whose influence never faded but continued to echo into later generations. Over two days, audiences will meet women who were creators, performers, queens and patronesses, muses and heroines — women whose actions and presence shaped the music and culture around them. From ancient myths to twentieth-century jazz, from the salons of Vienna and Berlin to today's stage, the festival seeks to listen to voices that reached us across time and to discover how they continue to live, change and echo today.
